Bill Summary
This bill revises the definitions section of what is commonly known as the Open Public Records Act (OPRA), P.L.1963, c.73 (C.47:1A-1 et seq.) as amended and supplemented by P.L.2001, c.404 (C.47:1A-5 et seq.), to include e-mail addresses on the list of confidential items that must be redacted from any public record disclosed under the provisions of the act.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Open Public Records Act (OPRA), a law that governs public access to government records in New Jersey, to include email addresses on the list of information that must be kept confidential and redacted from public records. This means that when a government agency releases a public record, they will now be required to remove any email addresses contained within it to protect personal privacy, similar to how social security numbers, credit card numbers, unlisted phone numbers, and driver's license numbers are already protected.
